One of the things I thought was very classy in GPL was the use of the Grand
Prix guide covers at the set-up area for each track. Then I went to Mark
Summers' GPL page http://www.racesimcentral.net/~msumm/gpl/maingpl.htm where
he has scanned some of the REAL guide covers!!  Are all the covers in GPL
just clever fakes--that however evoke the style of the era quite well?
Reminds me a bit of Interstate '76....

Well I didn't even think about it from that point of view. I just thought
the covers looked pretty cool ( i don't like all of them ). Would I prefer
the real thing? I don't know. Most likely they had licensing issues. Either
way the sim rocks.
